GPS is an easy one for them as it only recieves info from satellites and modules are cheap and readily available. It is the transmission and recieving of data between sleds that is the problem. There are new 2 way radios on the market that do already share locations. BRP might force you to buy new privately labelled radios (with bluetooth) to take advantage of this techology. It would be the easiest way to do this and at least the radios would be compatible (for voice communication) with other radios on the market.
I believe BRP would be able to convince their customers to adopt this concept.
it is surprising that brp's new gauge lacks those features and i'd guess it was a cost thing on an already expensive option as compared to the standard gauge. i mean, it really doesn't do that much more in terms of utility for a mountain sled. having the ability to play music for example is something i couldn't care less about. for trail sleds maybe it's more desirable but if i was stuck riding trails then i wouldn't own a sled but i digress.
anyway, it will be interesting to see how the deluxe gauge evolves over time.

I was told by
I’ve had a few people tell me that by winter they would have the GPS available for them might be a good question for norona
It has the capability already to use your phone's GPS and display your poition on a map. Adding internal GPS will only mean the mapping won't need your phone. Still impossible to see your buddy's location without cell data service and a tethered phone turned on. Personally I find the good riding starts where the cell service ends.
true enough
There are supposed to be chips being developed that can be put into cell phones to communicate with StarLink. I hope it is true only I don't know how they will be able to get the antenna small enough and still functionable. Would be cool if they figure it out. Can you imagine any phone working anywhere on the planet? That would change the landscape of commnication. Wouldn't be free though.
Where do you ride or you get cell service that long lol
I lose cell service as soon as I walked out of my motel room lol
Actually we get cell service at the tops of many mountains and nothing lower down in the shadows.
Its ALL WILD SPECULATION right now.
But perhaps in a couple years it will come into existence?

Tesla Phone: News and Expected Price, Release Date, Specs, and More Rumors
Is the Tesla phone real? Here's what we know, including when the Tesla smartphone might be released, what it could cost, its biggest features, etc.
I would prefer to have something like the Garmin Tread that Cat and Ski-Doo offer as accessories for $700 and have it as a standalone unit that can be moved to another sled or side by side. Seems like a better value than paying $500 for it to be in the sled gage. Especially since I have more than one sled to switch between now.
Elon will make Nuralink available in a few years and then we'll just connect telepathically.
I have Starlink internet at home and it rocks! I live in the boonies and normally have MAYBE 1 bar of cell service at best. With Starlink I have internet and wifi calling, it is the BOMB!
the equipment cost runs $599 for residential service with a $110 monthly subscription fee. it's not available everywhere yet.Jul 29, 2022
And how big is the antenna/dish? I would expect any phone woud need to have it be a similar size.the equipment cost runs $599 for residential service with a $110 monthly subscription fee. it's not available everywhere yet.Jul 29, 2022
I think my Starlink dish is about 16” round. But if all you want is to send text, it probably doesn’t need full reception.
